PANews reported on January 16 that Yu Hu, founder of Kaito AI, provided supplementary information regarding the announcement of "removing Yaps and the incentive leaderboard." Regarding the timeline: his team first received an email from the X platform account manager on January 13th about a possible reassessment, and issued a legal response the same day after receiving formal legal notification; on January 15th, the team and the public simultaneously saw a public statement from Nikita Bier, the X product manager.

Regarding the reason for not issuing any prior announcement, Yu Hu explained that this was not the first time they had received legal notices from the X platform. The previous issue was resolved amicably through a new corporate agreement. Therefore, the team chose to wait for further clarification and communication rather than hastily issuing an announcement. Yu Hu also stated that the new Kaito Studio platform had been in preparation for several months and was originally planned as a supplement to the Yaps model. With the closure of Yaps, Kaito Studio will become the core of the cross-platform business in 2026, while other businesses will remain unaffected.

Previously, X announced the cancellation of post rewards and banned "InfoFi" type applications from attracting users by rewarding posting behavior ; subsequently, Kaito announced that it would gradually shut down Yaps and the incentive leaderboard, and launch Kaito Studio ; 7 days ago, the Kaito team transferred 5 million KAITO to Binance, which was questioned as "knowing in advance about the negative news and selling off their holdings" .

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
